Gellatly Edinburgh

[MonicaL]

From that likely 1841 census entry, Thomas shows as not born in Midlothian but in Scotland, Maria shows as born in England - a wide search...

The surname Gellatly is native to the Carse of Gowrie and still fairly common in Perth and Dundee and thereabouts. Also spelt Galletly and Gallitly and several other variants.

I can help with descendants of John Kennedy & Maria Gellatly, I am a direct descendant in New Zealand.
All I have on Maria's parents is that they were Thomas & Maria Howes.

Hi
It would be great to exchange information. I am on ancestry not Genes Reunited. We can exchange emails via private message. I see you are new to roots chat so you can't send or receive private messages until you have made three posts. Post a message back to me and then we can send private message.
Cheers
